Default My "MONEY" shot from Sebring..

I got to Sebring on friday and what a blast. From the funnel cakes to meeting Roger Penske. Her's a pic I took that has been given the name of "MONEY SHOT", I took over 1200 hundred pics and a load of video. I'll be posting more in the upcoming days, so stay tuned.

Great shot!! In case anyone ever doubted that most of the braking is done by the front brakes, not the rears, check out the picture he took. Look at the difference in the amount of heat being generated in the front, versus the relatively little in the rear. Awesome!

Looks like they got the brake bias dialed in correct!

That 1st shot was very cool.

Why is the #3 car White? I must have missed the explanation. GM tends to use Yellow for their CxR cars.

Just for kicks, anyone know the rotor temperature required to create a visible glow like that?
